"To some people, hair may just be something they have and cut off when they think it's too long. But to people who have lost their hair due to cancer, it can be more than that. They may feel really self-conscious, but every woman needs to know they are pretty, with or without hair."
4/9"I have donated my hair four times, and it has felt just as good each and every time. The feeling you get when you see the hair sitting there waiting to be shipped off to someone in need is unexplainable."
5/9"I lost an uncle to lung cancer and almost lost a friend to brain cancer. The disease affects not only those who suffer from it, but also the people who see their family and friends being transformed physically and mentally by the disease. It is up to us to keep spreading the word, helping out in any way that we can, and making sure that we help cancer patients stay positive."

"I have met cancer survivors, know cancer survivors, and lost some whom I held very dear to my heart. When I found out that Pantene Beautiful Lengths was hosting a program that encourages women to support those beautiful cancer survivors, I was ecstatic!"

"Ever since my grandmother was diagnosed with breast cancer I've wanted to do something to show my support. I donated my hair about three years ago, and I have been growing it long and healthy so that I can donate it again."
